Or: truth is no stranger to fiction. Hey, could we talk about documentaries? The College has a Film Club, and I’m the acting advisor. One of the things the Club’s president has asked me to do is recommend films for the Club to screen. I noticed that none of the films the Club has screened in the recent past are non-narrative or experimental. So I suggested they put together a documentary film series. I don’t know if they’ll run with this idea, but I am hoping they’ll have an official screening of at least one documentary in the near future. I told them a nice start would be the Maysles’s “Salesman”–which I think is a classic. It’s as painful, funny, and intriguing as “Glengarry Glen Ross” or “Death of a Salesman.” Any other suggestions? Doesn’t matter if it’s obscure or marginal, just as long as it’s available. By the way, does anyone know if Errol Morris’s “Gates of Heaven” is available in any format? And why hasn’t there been more talk about experiemtnal or non-narrative films on this blog? J’accuse!
